Title: Recently became an atheist
Post by: Giosherd on April 10, 2012, 06:17:51 AM
Hey HAF!

I'm 20 years old.  I was raised a Christian until this year, when I became an atheist.  Found this forum while looking for a nice community to take part in.

Welcome Giosherd.

We are a nice forum, except for the Tank faction, oh ye and watch out for the Asmo zealots.  Most of the others are nice except for a few groupings of peculiarly insane heathens.  :)

Welcome aboard, Giosherd!  As a brand-new atheist, you may well find us informative.  We'll certainly offer support.  Once the brain-rot has set in, you'll also have a good time.

Hello Giosherd,

Welcome from another new member.  I am, myself, just (with this post!) graduating from the Padawan Learner status and eligible to engage in other areas of the forum.  So I'll remember you as the one who gave me the opportunity to do so.

I'm intrigued by your transition to atheism.  Can you share some of the thoughts, experiences or other aspects of your life that motivated this change?

Invictus

Hi there Giosherd.  What does your name mean?  Welcome to HAF.  I'm also curious about your transition.  What made you come around?

you must of had lots of questions for your old religion that didn't get satisfying answers.
